Halloween is Coming
The child wears a costume of death and ventures into the darkness, knocking on doors until they open.
Who is the child looking for, going door-to-door the way he does? What is his purpose? How does the adult who opens the door respond to the boy’s demand?
The boy’s sister is dressed as a princess. She is of the light and a touchpoint for her brother so he remembers his origin and doesn’t get lost in death...
...Why do we act this way as a culture? Truly.
Don’t just blindly accept what Google or AI tells you about what Halloween is. Or what Christmas is.

The OP isn’t a complaint about Halloween. I’m pointing out it’s a spiritual ritual that, like many rituals, we don’t fully understand as a culture.
Guess who has the lowdown on the spirituality of Halloween? Yup ... you guessed. We don't know if god told him -- he doesn't disclose much about his process -- or if it is just kind of in his DNA.
